Addressing Gender-based Violence Against Girl in Australia High School
Abstract
Australian young women have suffered from different forms of gender-based violence. As the primary front for public health promotion,
schools should take measures to prevent gender-based violence. This paper introduces three school-based programs for preventing gender-based violence in Australian high schools. It provides recommendations on school policies and assessments of programs to help prevent
gender-based violence.
